How to rent a property in Cambodia: a wise man's guide

Looking for an apartment to rent in Phnom Penh? We have you covered. This is a good starting point for expats who are in the process of moving to Cambodia to live and work. Finding a villa, condo, flat, or borey to stay in when you arrive is probably one of your top priorities. Check out our listings from the community! And if you have a house or apartment for rent, you're welcome to list it here for free. Kampot, Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville, and other provinces around Cambodia also have places to rent, but you might have better luck finding them on foot after you arrive, as the largest number of listings are in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

Thanks for this excellent post. Is there any similar advice you can offer for buying property, in particular condo's?

Don't, as they're overpriced..? ;-)

Property values in PP are well into the bubble stages and the investment, unless you find a steal, is probably a bad idea.

Sorry Vlad, but clicking on your post does nothing. Or do you mean simply clicking it open, adds to points.

Click on the green Karma + button under my avatar, I think that's how it works

No problem if you can't add karma

Vlad, genuine question, are you interested in helping us find new accommodation for a modest fee, and we can post back here on the experience?

Hi Stroppy,

May be interested.

What area? What do you want? Finders normally get 1 month's rent...I don't know if you want to give that much, no problem if you don't.

Give me more details, and we can talk

Thanks for taking the time. :good: I will print this out for use, and post a link when we get asked about rent in Cambo on other forums. It's getting more popular with young internet earners, because of the visa issues in Thailand.

What's a slush bucket, and why is it better than a fridge?

I can't give karma yet. I think it's 15 posts before you see the + option.
